They can't find `git send-email`, and the Guix package UI doesn't make this clear enough. I had the idea that package outputs besides 'out' and 'debug' should have very brief descriptions that are exposed in `guix show` and `guix search` and the `guix package` equivalents. So, maybe it would look like this: ------ $ guix show git name: git version: 2.31.1 outputs: out send-email svn credential-netrc credential-libsecret subtree gui * send-email: Tools for an email-based Git workflow * svn: Provides git-svn, for bidirectional operation between Subversion and Git repositories * credential-libsecret: Whatever that is * subtree: Who knows? * gui: A graphical interface for exploring a Git repository * etc... systems: x86_64-linux i686-linux dependencies: asciidoc-py3@9.0.1 bash-minimal@5.0.16 bash@5.0.16 curl@7.74.0 docbook-xsl@1.79.1 expat@2.2.9 gettext-minimal@0.20.1 glib@2.62.6 libsecret@0.20.4 openssl@1.1.1i pcre2@10.35 + perl-authen-sasl@2.16 perl-cgi@4.51 perl-io-socket-ssl@2.066 perl-net-smtp-ssl@1.04 perl-term-readkey@2.38 perl@5.30.2 pkg-config@0.29.2 python@3.8.2 subversion@1.14.1 tcl@8.6.10 tk@8.6.10 + xmlto@0.0.28 zlib@1.2.11 location: gnu/packages/version-control.scm:173:2 homepage: https://git-scm.com/ license: GPL 2 synopsis: Distributed version control system description: Git is a free distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. ------ The output of `guix show` and `guix search` are in recutils format, and we'd need to make sure that these new UI elements continued that valuable tradition.
